a few random images taken in Hazelwood Park
Good morning all, I hope life is treating you well and wishing you a good day.
for todays post I am going to share a few shots I took on a stroll in Hazelwood Park here in New Bedford, a nice park with views out over West beach and not to far from our grand daghters school, which is how I happened to have time to visit there, I was heading to pick up Zoey from school when she texted me to say she had club that day and wouldnt be ready to be picked up for an hour or so, so Decided since I had my camera bag with me to take a stroll in the park, and am sharing a random selection of shots I got that day
Starting with this shot of the bark of a tree with some paint and nails, not sure what the purpose of them was but it caught my eye

I do love being around trees and enjoy bothte view of them from afar, from under them, or looking at the cool patterns of the bark, I have even been known to hug a tree now and again.
did you know that research shows that spending time around trees can reduce stress, improve immunity, lower blood pressure, and accelerate recovery from illness or trauma. Furthermore, when you hug a tree, you release a hormone called oxytocin – known as the hormone of love and trust – which gives you that warm, fuzzy feeling.
but that said I am not as agile a tree hugger as squirrels are such as this fellow
